There’s something special about a fresh year. It feels like a reset — new energy, new routines, and yes… maybe a new hair era too. At Amanda Moncur Salon, we’ve been chatting behind the chair about what we’re loving for 2026, and one theme keeps coming up: hair that feels confident, lived-in, and undeniably you.
If you’ve been thinking about switching up your look, here are the stylist-approved trends we’re obsessed with going into the new year — plus how we can help you bring them to life.
1. Warm, Dimensional Blondes
2026 is all about blondes that feel rich, sun-kissed, and beautifully blended. Think soft golden tones, creamy beige, buttery warmth, and lived-in brightness that grows out seamlessly.
Instead of over-processed, icy blondes, we’re seeing more guests lean into warmth that feels healthy and luxurious. Dimension gives the hair depth, shine, and movement — allowing you to stay bright without compromising the integrity of your hair. Our blonding specialists are trained in modern foiling, lived-in blonding, balayage, and custom toning so your blonde is tailored exactly to you.
Perfect for:
Guests who want brightness, softness, and hair that feels healthy, touchable, and pretty from every angle.
2. Hair That Looks Healthy First
This year, “healthy hair” isn’t just a goal — it’s the trend. Guests are prioritizing shine, strength, and softness, and we love it. Treatments like K18, deep hydration masks, bond repair solutions, and scalp-focused care are becoming must-haves instead of afterthoughts.
Why we’re obsessed? Because when your hair is healthy, every color, blonde, and style looks better and lasts longer. Our stylists personalize treatment plans so your hair isn’t just styled — it’s cared for.
Perfect for:
Anyone trying to repair past damage, grow their hair, reduce breakage, or just keep their hair strong and beautiful.
3. Extensions for Fullness, Length, and Confidence
Extensions aren’t just for dramatic length anymore. They’re becoming a confidence tool — adding fullness, volume, and that “wow factor” finish. Whether you want a major transformation or a subtle enhancement, extensions create hair that feels thicker, bouncier, and more luxurious.
Our stylists specialize in beautiful, seamless installation and custom color blending so your extensions look like your hair — just better.
Perfect for:
Fine hair, thinning hair, big transformations, brides, special events, or anyone wanting that “new hair, new energy” feeling.
4. Modern Layers and Movement
Flat, one-length hair is officially out — 2026 is bringing movement, shape, and texture back. Think face-framing layers, soft shaping around the cheekbones, airy movement through the ends, and customized cutting that suits your lifestyle and face shape.
These cuts are feminine, flattering, and easy to style at home with the right products. Our stylists love tailoring layered looks so you get body, lift, and flow without sacrificing health and thickness.
Perfect for:
Guests who want their hair to feel lighter, more styled, and full of natural movement.
5. Fringe, Face-Framing, and “Personality Pieces”
If you’ve been flirting with bangs… 2026 may be your year. From soft curtain bangs to wispy face-framing pieces to subtle fringe that adds softness and personality — these details completely transform your look without committing to a full haircut overhaul.
They highlight your features, add style instantly, and refresh your overall vibe in the best way.
Perfect for:
Guests who want a visible change without losing length — or who are feeling bold and ready for something fun.
